For the women who are a work in progress and proud of it. ♥️

I’m not perfect. I’m not even trying to be.

But I am trying to be better than I was yesterday. Every single day.

Some days I nail it. Some days I’m apologizing by 10 AM. 🥹

I mess up. I own it. I try not to do it twice.

And through all of it, I treat people how I want to be treated. Do unto others. That part isn’t up for debate.

What’s one thing you’re working on being better at? I’ll go first in the comments. 👇🏾

Reminding myself that someone else’s opinions don’t have to take up any space in my head.

All of these. The list doesn’t stop. What did she need did I make sure we talked about that have I washed those curtains recently did I pay that bill and then my inner dialogue? The criticism about my body despite working so hard and being so dedicated. You are opening Pandora’s box over here for me ( time to journal 🙄 😂)❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

All of these! Plus I need to work on always “feeling bad” and worrying too much about how others feel yet not nearly enough about how something makes ME feel. So I enforce boundaries, they aren’t used to it and don’t like it. And then guess what I do? Feel bad🙄. I’m getting much better.

Negative self talk is my biggest one. The way I talk to myself matters. I have to better.
